1992 - The first L’OCCITANE boutique opens in Paris on Rue Vavin.
1997 - As a sensorial brand, L'OCCITANE is one of the first companies to feature Braille labeling on its products.
All in all, L'Occitane en Provence 20% shea butter hand cream is a very good quality product, a little expensive for a hand cream but the moisturization and luxurious perfume makes it worth buying! You need a little pampering in your life, especially in the colder seasons. The hands are very important for a woman (they wash, clean, cook, care for others) so they need a litle TLC once in a while! I give it the -A grade (due to the price) and recommend it wholeheartedly to you! You are worth it!

I love the fact that is doesn't leave a greasy film onto the skin like other thick hand creams do. The hands feel nourished a very long time , I don't feel the need to reapply it all the time like with other hand creams.

I now have the mini 20% shea butter hand cream from my earlier journeys, but as soon as I finish it, I will buy the normal sized one. My mini comes in a 10 ml/ 0.3 oz recipient.
Enriched with 20% shea butter, this super-creamy hand cream penetrates quickly to protect, nourish and comfort hands. An international customer favorite, one Shea Butter Hand Cream is sold every three seconds - 2012-2013. The formula includes honey and almond extracts, and coconut oil blended with shea butter for extremely effective hand care. The cream's rich texture is rapidly absorbed to leave the hands soft and smooth with no oily traces.
Ingredients :
Shea butter: nourishes, softens and protects (rich in vitamins and fatty acids)
Coconut oil: nourishes, rich in fatty acids
Extract of honey: softens
Extract of marshmallow root: softens
Flaxseed extract: nourishing and softening
It has a valability of 12 months. There are also 30 ml (33 ron) and 150 ml ones (95 ron).
The texture is a little thicker and it has a mild lovely sweet fragrance that remains onto the skin quite a while. I love it!
It is absorbed very quickly into the skin, leaving it nourished and perfumed.
